Chapter 218: Shocked Reader

The subject matter is very important for a film, why do families always choose popular themes for creation?

Because readers like that type of subject, they will look for books in that type of subject -

Choose a popular subject and have a better chance of being seen by readers!

Even some well-known best-selling authors do not dare to easily choose some unpopular themes to create.

Because there is no guarantee that after they have written about unpopular topics, readers will continue to support them.

However, there are always writers who don't play their cards according to common sense.

Chu Mad is such a writer.

He seems to have a natural dislike of writing about hot subjects.

Chu Mad's debut work in the field of long-form fantasy is "The King of the Net", a sports competition-

Super unpopular theme!

His second part is "Zhu Xian", which is a fairy that almost no one has touched on the market-

It's not more reliable than sports competition!

However, these two themes are quite unreliable, and they have achieved extremely good results, and they have led the market trend!

Yes.

When Chu Mad's third part was placed in the horror and suspense category, many people in the industry were a little surprised.

Obviously.

If it weren't for the success of "Zhu Xian", the industry would definitely be very unoptimistic about Chu Maan's new book, and even 100% of people would jump out and say:

"Chu Mad's new book will hit the street!"

Because of horror and suspense, in the field of fantasy, it is also a big upset!

But Chu Mad has already shined under everyone's disapproval twice in a row, so the Yinlan Library began to announce it, and almost no one dared to jump out to question the quality of Chu Mad's new books, even if there was more or less such an idea in their hearts.

Editors in the industry are not stupid.

Everything involves Chu Mad , judging by conventional experience, the probability of being slapped in the face is always very high, so it is better to close your mouth and wait for the follow-up.

Booksellers are also not stupid.

Even though the book "Ghost Blows the Lamp" seems to be a fix on the surface, the major booksellers still give enough face and book a lot of goods from the Silver Blue Library.

No way.

Who made "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" a new book by Chu Mad ?

has the foundation of the first two films, the pen name Chu Mad, today has a faint effect of ignoring the classification and ignoring the subject matter!

But......

This is just the opinion of some people in Qin Province.

Many Qi Provincial readers disagree with this point.

For example, Mai Tong.

Mai Tong is a native of Qi Province.

After the merger of Qin and Qi, as a fantasy lover, Mai Tong naturally read a lot of fantasy masterpieces in Qin Province.

Because there are too many excellent works in Qin Province, and they are all very exciting, Mai Tong can't stop watching it.

So Mai Tong didn't have time to see Chu Mad.

However, there are many readers in Qin Province on the Internet who have high praise for Chu Mania, and it seems that this Chu Mania really has something.

So Mai Tong is already planning to read Chu Yan's works

Coincidentally, Mai Tong saw the promotion of Chu Mad's new book by Yinlan Library.

To get to know an author, of course, through his latest works.

So after Mai Tong learned that Chu Mad was going to release a new book, he didn't buy Chu Mad in the past, but had some expectations for his new book.

Mai Tong wanted to see how powerful this Chu madness in this Qin Province was.

Outcome......

Before the official release of this work called "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", Mai Tong was already disappointed when he saw the theme mentioned in the promotion.

It turned out to be a horror suspense!

Isn't Chu Mad a very famous writer in Qin Province, how could he write such an unpopular subject?

This is the work of the best-selling author in Qin Province?

To be honest, Mai Tong has no interest in this subject matter at all.

But perhaps the netizens in Qin Province blew Chu too hard.

Although he was not interested in the subject matter of Chu Ma's new book at all, on the day of the official release on June 1st, Mai Tong still bought a copy of Chu Mad's new book "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

Not interested in books, but interested in people.

On the Internet, readers in Qin Province had a high evaluation of Chu Mad, so high that Mai Tong couldn't help but wonder what was so powerful about this person.

However.

As soon as he opened "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", Mai Tong's face turned black.

"First person?"

Crazy and dignified, that's all the level?

Mai Tong has always believed that the first person is the most dramatic way to write.

He once tried to force a first-person work, but after reading a few chapters, he couldn't help but be defeated.

He hadn't seen anything written in the first person since.

The reaction of the market also proves that the first person is not welcome.

Ninety-nine percent of the Fire Books are created in the third person, comparing God's perspective.

From this point alone, Mai Tong wants to sentence "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" to death.

But this book was bought with money, Mai Tong pursed his lips, suppressed his inner resistance, and continued to read.

And the setting and plot of this film are also slowly unfolding in front of Mai Tong's eyes......

[Hair hills, touching gold, moving mountains, and unloading mountains, these are the four major genres of tomb robbery. 】

[People light candles, ghosts blow out lamps.] 】

[When entering the ancient tomb, light a candle in the southeast corner before opening the coffin, if the candle is extinguished, you must exit quickly, and you can't take anything. According to legend, this is a contract between the living and the dead made by the ancestors, which has been passed down for thousands of years and cannot be broken. 】

[The rooster cries and the lights go out and the gold is not touched. 】

[Looking for the dragon to see the winding mountain, a rush is a heavy pass; if there are a thousand locks in the door, there must be a prince living here. 】

At the beginning, Mai Tong turned very quickly, swallowing dates.

It's like reading a textbook, because of the lack of interest, so it's very perfunctory.

But when plots such as white paper figures unfolded, and the rules and settings of tomb robbing were analyzed by the author layer by layer, Mai Tong was gradually attracted.

"It's kind of interesting. ”

He raised an eyebrow and continued to look.

Time passes bit by bit.

When he saw that the story was merged into the main line and officially came to Hu Bayi's perspective, Mai Tong's eyes widened slightly, and the speed of turning the book slowed down.

"Zongzi ......"

"Touching the Golden Talisman ......"

"Strange people divide gold and set ......"

"Sixteen Characters Yin Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique ......"

From the first mention of the Exquisite Ancient City, the main line of the story has become clear, like the trunk of a large tree, spreading towards the branches and leaves little by little.

Bewitching!

As the story extended, Mai Tong was completely obsessed, and he recalled the comments of those Qin Province readers on the Internet about Chu Madness, and for the first time he had a strong sense of identity in his heart......

Chu Madness, it's amazing!

This one, which seems scary, actually includes history, geography, humanities and even I Ching gossip, and the writer can only write it when he has goods in his stomach.

Because......

To write this kind of book, you need to have the imagination of a thriller writer, the background of a historical writer, the logic of a detective writer, the grasp of human nature by a psychologist, the knowledge of a civil engineer, the sensitivity of a politician, the skill of a geographer, and most importantly, a steady stream of awesome inspiration!

There is no vanity under the fame.

These Chu madmen have done it!

The most amazing thing is ......

The tomb robbery scene described by Chu Mad

The underground world he wrote was too whimsical, too bizarre, and the atmosphere of horror and horror was filled with strong mental stimulation, which triggered countless imaginations of Mai Tong!

The characters are also very distinct.

Hu Bayi, who usually talks nonsense and determines the situation at critical times.

Athletic, insightful, upright, and universal Shirley Yang.

Greedy for money and afraid of heights, but with deep righteousness, Wang Kaixuan, and Wang Fatman, who has excellent marksmanship.

factions, stunts, black words, a sense of age, everything, obviously absurd but extraordinarily reasonable, and even materialist analysis and explanation interspersed with them, so that people don't feel that the author is making things up......

This world is almost real!

Thriller, horror and suspense, mysterious and weird, with a few decomposed sense of reasoning.

This is completely different from the horror and suspense imagined by Mai Tong!

Even, it would be a mistake to put this one in the category of "horror and suspense".

This is clearly a new genre.

This is unprecedented...... Grave!

"It's powdered!"

Mai Tong's mood became extremely agitated!

He hated the first person before, but after watching it all the way, he suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with the first person!

Tomb robbery is to use the first person to enhance the sense of substitution, as if you are entering the story yourself!

Such an immersive experience cannot be given by the third person.

In other words, if a writer is good enough, he can write flowers in the first person!

At this time.

It's already dark.

Unconsciously, Mai Tong watched it for a whole afternoon.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that his neck was a little sour, and his eyes were a little astringent.

But at this time, the first volume is almost finished.

Mai Tong's speed of reading books is one of the fastest among readers.

And in about the same time.

The editors of Yinlan Library are staring nervously at the Internet, waiting for the first wave of feedback from "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

"It shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Although the painting style is not too youthful and fantastical, but in these years, isn't the story exciting......"

"I'm worried that readers won't be able to accept the first person. ”

"Everyone can't accept the first person, but everything has a process of adaptation, don't you think that when you look at this book, you forget about the first person?"

"Yes, I'm already obsessed with seeing the back, where do you care about the first person. ”

“......”

As the editors discussed, feedback from "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" gradually appeared on the Internet.

The first wave of readers, finally appeared.

The hour was officially released at seven o'clock in the morning.

At this time, it has been nearly twelve hours since the release of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

Readers who read books relatively quickly have no problem reading the first volume of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" within twelve hours.

You don't even need to read it.

As long as you read part of this book, its excitement is already ready to come out, and it is enough for all the reviews to be substantial.

The editors, who have been staring at the official website, have finally seen the comments of readers one after another.

First of all, the first comment was left by a reader named "Mai Tong":

"As a reader of Qizhou, I have always heard of the name of Chu Mad and have the honor to read "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" today, and I was shocked to read it in one breath, after the merger of Qin and Qi, this is the best Qinzhou I have ever read!"

Followed by.

Like a flare gun.

After this book review appeared, more book reviews about "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
